I would like to see Grady do it but that is too stressful, and would be too tiring, because he doesn't look like a power hitter, those people hit it out of the park, Grady has only had a few upper decker home runs. I only remember one.

C.C.'s not stupid, how much stress would that competition put on his pitching arms, we don't need him to get hurt hitting for some homeruns. C.C. would get my vote out of the three just cause I want to give him a chance to hit some, but not if it cost him an injury

Talk of the home run derby just gives me thoughts of Chris Berman saying "Back, back ,back GONE. Caught by a fan in nantucket" 9000 times in one hour. You know like it's funny. I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a number 2 pencil than watch.

I'm thinking CC is campaigning for a spot.

It was just a joke.
95/100 really stupid things I write are just jokes.
The other 5% is me actually being an idiot and not knowing better.

You'll know those when I compund the stupidity by trying to vigorously defend my position with made up "facts" and huge words.

And let's face it, CC has as a better chance of hurting his pitching arm reaching for an extra biscuit than he does of hurting himself in the HR contest.

Grady Sizemore turned down an invitation to participate in the Home Run Derby.

"It's an honor, but if I said yes, it would be straight panic mode," Sizemore said. "I need at least a week's heads-up to get ready. I need time to work on my swing during batting practice and I'd have to arrange for my pitcher to make the trip with me."

If they are looking for guys to play in the HR Derby, can we send Pronk so he could work on his swing??

It might turn out like Albert Belle in 95. Albert didn't win the contest but he did get the swing going and he hit around 35 bombs after the all-star break that year. If Pronk got into a grove like that for the 2nd half, look out baseball.
